  1. FeOt, total iron as FeO. The chemical compositions are recalculated to 100%
  2. Chemical compositions of 1235S, 2011-7VL, 2018 eruption products were measured using XRF in this study. Analytical errors for each element are shown in Ishizuka et al. (2014)
  3. aChemical composition of lava of 7 ka eruption at Takachihonomine volcano is after Imura and Kobayashi (2001)
  4. bChemical compositions of 1716-17GP, 1716-17WP, 2011-2SGP and 2011-3SGP, 2011-2SWP, 2011-4VB and 2011-5VL are after Tomiya et al. (2013). Standard deviation of each analysis is also shown in parenthesis
